DESIGN REPORT Food Hygiene & Safety Robust inspection system keeps sausages safe A metal detection system installed on a pre-packed meat and sausage production line is ensuring absolutely safe food without wasting unacceptable quantities Although safety standards are essential in the food industry, they are just a starting point and most food manufacturers go well beyond the legal requirements to protect their good name. No matter how often a product is praised for taste and quality, just one report of contamination can easily destroy not just the reputation of a particular product but also damage the brand. Pre-packed meat and sausage company, Aldenhoven, wanted the highest possible quality standards, exceeding IFS requirements. But finding suitable metal detection and separation equipment that was both easy to use and reliable proved to be far from easy. A major problem was the inspection of sausage meat filling for very small particles of metal from the production process without wasting an unacceptable quantity of the product. The strong and variable product effect combined with high vibration levels and wet operating conditions demanded a very high specification inspection system. The solution came in the form of a Liquiscan metal detection system with the Genius control unit from S+S Inspection. Designed specifically for use with pumped liquid and paste products, the S+S Liquiscan can be installed with all types of conventional filling machines without any problems. The Genius control unit is designed for quality control systems used in automatic processes and the ‘Auto-Learn’ capability automatically adjusts for product effect changes. The system logbook can record one thousand events and produce date and time stamped documentation to HACCP and ISO 9000 standards. Delivering high standards As an additional safeguard, Aldenhoven also installed an S+S Unicon-D end-of-line metal detection system to identify magnetic and non-magnetic contamination in packed products, both sausages and meats immediately before despatch. Aldenhoven’s technical manager says: “To meet the very high standards we set, it has been necessary to replace some of our existing inspection equipment with S+S systems. Now, we can be confident that the quality demanded by our customers will be reliably maintained.” MORE INFORMATION: Enter D185 on the card, or visit ‘latest issue stories’ at www.industrialtechnology.co.uk for further details from S+S Inspection and more news on inspection systems 18 More details: Write in 180 on the free information card
